Breathing exercises to prevent pneumonia after hip fracture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether simple breathing exercises before and after surgery can help prevent pneumonia in people with hip fractures. It is not a medication study—you'd use a small device to help you breathe deeply.
